THE Applus+ SOLUTION
Applus+ in Australia have designed and developed a variety of non-hydraulic, universal, automated inspection scanners to perform a variety of non-destructive testing (NDT) services subsea at depths of up to 2500m.
 
Our scanners produce inspection resolutions of 1.0mm on both X and Y axes. These Applus+ scanners also contain a platform that allows a number of inspection methods to be used, such as integrated cleaning, ultra-high resolution A, B and C-scans, time of flight, visual inspection, laser inspection, ACFM, or a combination of inspection tools through the use of custom-built NDT systems. All designs are light, easy and practical to install internally or externally either by diver or simple ROV hook-up with most ROV suppliers.

TARGET CUSTOMERS
Certain pipelines and assets need to be inspected while in operation so as to monitor the in-service performance of the welds and materials.
 
A typical example is the validation of intelligent pigging data. This inspection requires ultra-high resolution imaging of the underlying material for corrosion, material loss and pitting.
